Skepta

What: Every Warm-Up series features at least one hip-hop showcase, and this summer they've brought in U.K grime heavyweight Skepta. The buzzed about rapper has been getting attention from U.S outlets not in the least because Kanye is a fan, and the influence and appeal of grime is quickly surfacing stateside. Skepta is the second live performance on the billing, following Chicago rap duo Sicko Mobb, who will deliver their trippy, idiosyncratic, anime-rap that's sure to set the crowd off. We're also eagerly anticipating whatever Bauuer will play, who will finish the night with what we assume will be a totally different side of him from "Harlem Shake." When: July 25th Lineup: Baauer / LuckyMe / Brooklyn, NY Skepta (Live) / Boy Better Know / London, UK DJ Slimzee / Slimzos Recordings / London, UK Sicko Mobb (Live) / Polo Grounds + RCA Records / Chicago, IL Dark0 / Lost Codes + Rinse / London, UK
